IMPROVEMENT IN SIZE AND QUALITY TICKE-TS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No 149,896, dated April 2l,1874; application filed March 27,1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HALMEAGH VAN GEA- SEN, of the city, county, andState of New York, have invented'a new article of manufacture entitledan Improvement in Size and Quality Tickets, of which the following is aspecification The object of my invention is to provide tailors anddress-makers witha ticket, which may be attached to garments in a moreready manner than those heretofore in use, so as to effect great savingof time; and my invention consists in constructing tickets with metallicpoints at the back, which, upon being pressed against the fabric, willpass through the same, and by being bent back of the cloth willeffectually secure the ticket to the same in a neat and strong manner.

Figure l is a face view of a card of tickets. Fig. 2 is a face view ofone ticket attached to cloth. Fig. 3ds a face view of a larger sizeticket. Fig. 4 is a face view of a ticket. after the top layer of paperis removed exposing the metal of the points. Fig. 5 is an under-sideperspective of a ticket-points projecting as ready for use. Fig. 6 is,in perspective, the metallic portion of the ticket alone. Fig. 7 is alongitudinal `section of a ticket shown as attached to cloth. Fig. 8 isa transverse section, showing ticket against the cloth, points standingout, as before, pressing down.

The two sections are on an enlarged scale.

a represents the upper surface of the ticket, upon which the numbers andother designatin g-marks are printed. b represents the backing ofticket, pasted so as to form a portion thereof. o represents themetallic points, running through the backing b, and between the facing aand backing b, as shown, and forming a permanent portion of the ticket.

The points projecting outward readily pass through the cloth, and areeasily pressed back, so as to hold the ticket to the coat or othergarment desired.

Heretofore it has been the custom to stitch the tickets to the garmentwith needle and thread, consuming considerable time; but by this meansthe ticket is applied quickly, and hundreds secured where but a fewcould be stitched in the old way. The saving of time in a single dayamounts to a considerable sum in money.

The tickets are to be applied to garments made up, and also to thematerials previous to manufacture-dry goods, cloths, Ste.

The tickets may have as many of the points as desirable, and the pointsmay be made of any suitable metal.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

As an article of manufacture, a size or quality mark or ticket, composedof two layers of paper, between which is secured the head or bridge ofthe fastening-springs o, which eX- tend through the bottom layer, andare adapted to fasten the ticket to a fabric.
